This is an attempt to give our family and friends a glimpse
of our baby Carter's llife. I hope this will help you better
understand O.E.I.S complex (Cloacal Exstrophy). Carter is a true blessing and God has a special plan for him.

Update and The Little Light House...

It has been a while since my last post. I apologize for not updating. We have honestly been just enjoying being at home. Since my last post, Carter had his cast removed and advanced to a brace. We were able to remove the brace the day after Thanksgiving and Carter has been on the move since. His leg is completely healed! We will see his Orthopedic Doctor again in 6 months for another x-ray. Carter is healthier right now than he has ever been! He is absolutely precious and he LOVES life. He laughs and giggles nearly all day!

We received some BIG and EXCITING news this past Friday. After a long wait on the waiting list, Carter will be attending The Little Light House in January. If you have never heard of The Little Light House or just want to check it out, their website is The Little Light House. The Little Light House will provide Carter with physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and will work on getting him to eat more. The Little Light House is more than just a developmental school, it is a wonderful ministry. We are SO excited and can not wait to watch Carter thrive. He starts January 7th and will attend from 8:30 - 1:30 Monday thru Thursday. It is going to be a huge transition for both of us, but I know it is for his own good. He has such a big personality and absolutely loves other kids, I know he will really enjoy it.

God has truly blessed our family. His timing is always perfect. If The Little Light House would have had a spot open 6 months ago Carter would not have been healthy enough to go and may have missed out on the opportunity all together. Carter continues to amaze us with his bright personality and his love of life. Nearly every time we meet someone new, they mention how happy and bright his personality is. He has been through more than most of us will ever go through, and yet, he still wakes up with a smile on his face everyday. Carter's personality has really started shining through and I have to say he is extremely silly. He loves to make everyone laugh.

Thank you for all of your prayers and continued prayers for our sweet Carter. Please keep them coming! Pray that Carter's health continues to improve and for the transition we are all about to encounter. As always... To Him be the Glory!!!

About Me

My husband and I married May 14, 2005. On our 5 year wedding anniversary we found out our sweet baby would be born with an extremly rare birth defect known as O.E.I.S Complex. O.E.I.S Complex consist of an Omphalocele (some organs in a sack on the outside of the body), Exstrophy of the bladder (bladder on the outside of the body turned inside out), Imperforated anus and a Spinal defect. Our miracle baby was born on August 20, 2010. He is a true gift from God and we give him all of the praise!
